Fall Tallulah Season Reminders for 2009

Scheduled releases occur the first two weekends in April and the first three weekends in
November. On Saturday 500 cfs is released and on Sunday 700 cfs. Boaters are allowed
on the water once the level stabilizes, which is about 9:30 am; the water is turned off at
4 pm. All boaters must start down the stairs by 3:00 pm to beat the flow down to the lake. You
will need to sign a waiver at the top of the stairs to be permitted to paddle the river. Please
continue to park across the road from the put-in for a $5.00 fee per vehicle, and remember that
you must go under the bridge to cross the road.

2. PARKING - Shuttles are not provided any longer at the Tallulah, requiring boaters to set their
own shuttles at the take-out. Please carpool, do not overcrowd the take-out and park in
designated spaces only. Take-out parking is limited, please maximize parking by sharing
shuttles.

3. DON'T TRAMPLE THE TRILLIUM â€¨- Keep boats and bodies on the steps, bedrock, or water at all
times, especially at the bottom of the stairs, where some boaters jump the right rail or throw
their boats vertically over the back of the platform. Also, keep your impact on the riverbank to
a bare minimum in connection with scouting rapids.

4. NO ALCOHOL IS ALLOWEDâ€¨ - Remember that alcohol is prohibited on all Georgia State Parks
property.

5. CAMPINGâ€¨ - If you are making a trip into the area, please visit one of the nearby
campgrounds.

6. PLEASE KEEP ALL DOGS ON LEASHESâ€¨ - All dogs must be kept on six-foot leashes. The owners of
unattended dogs, dogs not on leashes, or of animals locked in cars that the park deems as
hazardous will be ticketed.

8. AND FINALLYâ€¨ - Don't forget, there would be no releases in Tallulah Gorge if it were not for
the hard work of the American Whitewater staff and volunteers. Please support American Whitewater
with your membership.
